eSanjeevani

Context: 

Recently, the PM praised the eSanjeevani application in his Mann Ki Baat radio address for bringing medical services to people living in remote areas of India.

About eSanjeevani:

• It is a doctor to doctor telemedicine system, being implemented under the Ayushman Bharat Health and Wellness Centre (AB-HWCs) programme.
• AB-HWCs are envisaged to be the platform for delivery of an expanded range of primary health care services closer to the communities.
• It seeks to connect all 1,50,000 HWCs using the hub-and-spoke model.
• Under the model, a network will be established comprising an anchor establishment, or hub, which offers a full array of services, and will be complemented by secondary establishments, or spokes, which offer limited services, routing patients needing more intensive services to the hub for treatment.
